Daily total:
605 (10.3g/kg) *recommended upper limit is 10g/kg as more than this does not seem to increase muscle/liver glycogen levels.

Observations:
breakfast was a sugar bomb, but laying around the house dizzy is ok.
-80g in the hour before riding was good. Did not lead to reactive hypoglycemia. Started drinking energy drink immediately on the ride and felt fine.

- Typically after a dinner of pasta and bread I'm hungry a few hours later and need a snack. Didn't have that hunger pang tonight. Mashed potatoes was new tonight, don't usually have that. Wonder if that helped? Or if I just ate so much all day that I'm full.
